text: Remote<p>Hello,<p>I&#x27;m part of young European startup. We have an easy-to-use app that allows our users to mine some crypto, with little to none technical knowledge required.<p>As part of our app we are distributing few opensource miners (for example <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;xmrig&#x2F;xmrig" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;xmrig&#x2F;xmrig</a>) and antivirus vendors are giving us a hard time because the same miners are often distributed with malware. We are looking for someone who could solve this issue. This could be done by modifying those opensource projects, by working directly with AV companies, or perhaps by some binary obfuscation. It&#x27;s open for discussion, end goal is to make sure that our users won&#x27;t have to deal with false positives.<p>This could be anything from few hours of consultation to few weeks of work.<p>Please send me an email at hiciu (at) hiciu.org if this looks interesting.
